Closed lists are exactly the same as the current situation. Right now, we don't choose the candidate in a constituency. We either vote for the person because we are happy with their party, or we vote for the person and ignore the party they are representing—I think very few people do that—or we vote for the party, regardless of the candidate. Instead of having one candidate imposed by the party, we would have five.
